About

Hyunju Kim is an assistant professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the University of Washington's School of Public Health. She is a nutritional and cardiovascular epidemiologist with a strong interest in multiple omics data, including metabolomics, proteomics, and epigenetics. Her research focuses on building evidence regarding the role of diets in cardiovascular disease prevention, identifying modifiable metabolic and biological pathways influenced by healthy diets, and uncovering early biomarkers and therapeutic targets for cardiovascular and kidney diseases. Dr. Kim utilizes high throughput omics data from feeding studies and large observational studies to advance understanding in these areas.

  Key Points Inflammation is relevant for CKD. Dietary intake influences inflammation. In 9814 individuals, our study found that concordance to a proinflammatory diet was associated with greater risk of CKD. Our results suggest that clinicians should consider recommending reducing dietary patterns high in inflammatory potential. Background Inflammation contributes to the onset of CKD. Diet is a modifiable risk factor for CKD; however, it remains unknown if the inflammatory potential of the diet is…
